Button Tales

Most casual gamers prefer to tackle simple games that feature difficult levels instead of actual hardcore games that require them to learn intricate gameplay mechanics. On top of that, simple games usually work on almost any computer, given the fact that most people do not own a powerhouse able to run the latest triple-A productions from famous studios.

Button Tales is a match-three game in which you have to solve tough levels by achieving the required goals in as few moves as possible. The gameplay mechanics are more or less the same as in every other game in the genre, with a few minor differences, but the experience is quite different in certain regards. There’s also a brand new world to get familiar with.

The story is of little consequence to the gameplay, since your only interaction with it is through the cutscenes that tell you very little about the characters or the actual events. Hence, it all takes place in a world called Buttonland, which is now in great danger of being destroyed. Your role is to save it somehow, so the whole adventure puts your abilities to the test in a variety of ways.

Each level presents you with a different tile pattern and a new mission, although the core mechanics remain the same throughout the game. Hence, whether you have to clear all the green tiles at least once or match a certain number of a specific symbol, each mission has its quirks. However, everything must be achieved in a certain number of moves, which is where the tough part begins.

The graphics are nothing out of the ordinary, but they are pretty polished and enjoyable, even if they fail to impress with anything. In fact, it looks more or less like any other match-three game on the market, which is a bit of a bummer. On the other hand, it rarely happens that you have time to admire or criticize the artwork, given the tough stages and massive amounts of content available.

Despite its lack of originality, Button Tales is still a pretty strong game, not to mention enjoyable and difficult. Thus, if you need something to do and a new casual game to kill some time with, this can easily fill that role. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game. Once run, the application will automatically download and install the game on your computer.
